Hi there Rose– or her collegue, as obvious as this is, I need to ask a simple question. Normally, I don’t do this, but seeing as this website was recommended to me by a friend, I thought I’d try it out. Okay, question: How can a locket be ‘converted’ into a protective talisman? (since I have one that desperately needs a purpose other than being decorational…) Thanks for reading (if you are)~ P.S. Great job on the website, very informational! Kinda like Wikipedia for witches/wiccans. ^_^

Greetings! What a wonderful idea! I am glad you asked about it. Yes, of course, we can convert a locket into a protective talisman using our own magick. You have to believe in this with all your heart and take the time to work the spell correctly. First take the locket and clean is as well as you can. If it is old and used by someone else, it will have that person’s energies in it. Let’s see what we need to consecrate this jewelry: 1 white candle Myrrh or sandalwood incense Bowl with water and some seasalt Gather all of the above at your altar. Take a long, warm bath in nice, relaxing bath oils such as lavendar, rosemary or rose. Enjoy the warm bath as long as you can. Then change into a nice cotton robe, towel dry your hair if needed and sit down in front of the altar. Light the candle and the incense. Close your eyes and visualize the ornament helping you in times of need. Do you see it as a good luck charm that will help bring peace, love, money, wealth. Imagine it bringing all this and more into your life. Hold the jewely in your left hand and with your right hand, sprinkle some salt water on the jewelry. If it is an item that may be tarnished by salt, then just imagine that it is cleansed by the salt water without actually touching it. Now hold the item with both your hands and allow the smoke of the incense and the candle to go through your hand and through the pendant. Chant: Powers and Energies of the Air and Light, Consecrate this Pendant through this Rite Now hold your hands close to your face and near your third eye (middle of the eye brows) and visualize this pendant helping you everyday. Wear the pendant and sit in that magickal atmospere until the candle burns out. Now your pendant has become a talisman! Brightest Blessings!
